we're watching what's happening in the congress right now. world financial markets are watching very closely as well. they'll soon start reopening after the new year holiday, beginning shortly in asia, later overnight in europe, followed by wall street in the mourning. let's go to our chief business correspondent, ali velshi in new york. ali, what will make investors take a look at this fiscal cliff uncertainty and decide to buy or sell? what's going to happen? >> well, they're really going to wait for the same thing we're waiting for. and that is some srcertainty. so at this point, as you've been reporting so well for a few hours, we don't know whether the house is going to vote or whether america is really going over the fiscal cliff for a few days. now, we've got only australia open at the moment and new zealand. these are not markets that will give us a real sense of how the rest of the world is going to go, and that's because those markets are influenced by other sources. we're looking for seoul, hong kong, and shanghai, all of which wil

it's better to get it right than to act in haste. if we vote on the fiscal cliff bill today, i will vote against it because this is not the way to do the people's business. i will not condone a process that denies the american people on opportunity to participate in their republic on issues of this magnitude. i yield back. >> to what purpose does the gentleman from morgan seek recognition. without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> the agreement we are expected to vote on has many commendable and important items. unfortunately too many are short term, much is left out, and we are losing an opportunity for reform. we cannot continue to have, by far, the world's most largest and expensive military, the lowest taxes, the most expensive and inefficient health-care system, and continue to allow infrastructure to fall apart all while america out grows and ages. this agreement represents the least we could have done under these circumstances and tragically, it institutionalizes for the next congress the madness of the
